COMEDY---comedy film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humor. Also, films in this style typically have a happy ending (the black comedy being an exception). One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were comedies. Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much more focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comics transitioning to the film industry due to their popularity. While many comedic films are lighthearted stories with no intent other than to amuse, others contain political or social commentary.
DRAMA---A drama film is a film
genre that depends mostly on indepth development of realistic characters dealing
with emotional themes. Dramatic themes such as alcoholism, drug addiction,
racial prejudice, religious intolerance, poverty, crime and corruption put the
characters in conflict with themselves, others, society and even natural
phenomena.
This film genre can be contrasted with an action film which relies on fast-paced
action, and physical conflict but superficial character development. All film
genres can include dramatic elements, but typically, films considered drama
films focus mainly on the drama of the main issue.
Some of well-known drama films include The Godfather (1972), The Shawshank
Redemption (1994), and Schindler's List (1993)
ACTION---Action films are a film genre where action sequences, such as fights, shootouts, stunts, car chases or explosions either take precedence or, in finer examples of the genre, are used as a form of exposition and character development. The action typically involves individual efforts on the part of the hero. The genre is closely linked with the thriller and adventure film genres.
HORROR---Horror films are movies that strive to elicit fear, horror and terror responses from viewers. In the plots of such films, themes of the supernatural colliding with our world, are very common. Otherwise the theme can be completely "supernatural" without any trace whatsoever of reality. Horror movies usually include a central villain. Early horror are largely based on classic literature of the gothic/ horror genre, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Later horror films, in contrast, often drew inspiration from the insecurities of life after World War II, giving rise to the three distinct, but related, sub-genres: the horror-of-personality Psycho film, the horror-of-armageddon Invasion of the Bodysnatchers film, and the horror-of-the-demonic Hellraiser film. The last sub-genre may be seen as a modernized transition from the earliest horror films, expanding on their emphasis on supernatural agents that bring horror to the world.
